Heroic acts of recovery do not mean you have a safety culture. Safety is integral to both technical and non technical issues. It is the non technical issues which create a safety culture and which were at least equally, if not more important, in both the Challenger and Columbia Accidents. The ability and culture of all team members to be able to speak up and be heard. True safety culture is established by individuals and their behaviour, how one acts when one is not being watched. Leaders need to drive behaviour which determines the safety culture.
